Remembering Mahatma Ghandi With Bread

IT’S close to Mahatma Gandhi’s 139th birthday. Im Amritsa, the boys are playing at reincarnation; although some may not be as they claim.

For just £2.00 HELLO! offers its readers a ready source of heat and light. One look at the sun-kissed faces of Scott’s EastEnders and The Bill co-stars and you feel as warm and snug as a jalapeno pepper up a camel’s bum.
